“Of all the money spent on weddings, hiring Ruby Riot Creatives should absolutely be put at the top of the list of must dos!””
If our entire company ethos over the past 11 years was deduced to an 8 second GIF…
we are production dorks.
WE ALL HAPPEN TO ENJOY electronic MUSIC, FRIED CHICKEN, and face melting wedding video edits.
we’ve been doing this forever.
WE’RE NOT A WEDDING VIDEO AGENCY.
WE’RE NOT A FRANCHISE THAT HIRES RANDOS.
…THERE’S LIKE FIVE OF Us.
we believe in love stories, and we wanna tell yours.

AUSTIN + CHARLESTON BASED Wedding VideographEr
Video captures not only a snapshot, but entire [un]forgettable moments on one of the biggest days in your life.
Seven years later, Trevor and Brittany reflect on what their RRC wedding video means to them now.
“Ruby Riot Creatives ended up being the best part of my daughter’s wedding day. Honestly, we were more focused and excited about the still photos, but we ended up loving the video the most. We recommend them to everyone we know. Their talent and reliability are unparalleled in Charleston.”
Casablanca Vibes
I think we saw Humphrey Bogart in the crowd…
Carly reminds me of Ingrid Bergman. Brian has that Humphrey Bogart Casablanca energy: iconic, timeless. These two threw a big fat Christian + Jewish destination wedding at Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC. Moonlight portraits paired with iconic Casablanca one liners and mind melting soundscores.

Hearing “Roma Fade” by Andrew Bird, one can’t help but feel the momentum of the vespa hugging the steep cliffsides of the Amalfi Coast. As seen on Style Me Pretty, their wedding film includes evening bonfires, and bursting peonies. Watch Kristin and Nate’s wanderlust-chic wedding video now.
The Crowd Surfers
“I have never seen someone plan the party, and then BE the party like Jenna.”
— JOHNNO WILSON
This elegant family fete took place at Montage Palmetto Bluff -- Kicking off with the most fantastic Hinckley yacht entrance you’ve ever seen.
…Did I mention there was crowd surfing?
HOW IT WORKS: HOW TO BOOK YOUR WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER
From the get-go, I want to understand you, your style, and what you're about so we can create a video that feels like home.
Shelby Ring, Chief Cat Herder
We start with a free FaceTime, or phone consultation where I'll have some questions for you guys. We'll talk details about the logistics for the event, what you want coverage of, but I'm also going to ask you:
What was your first impression when you saw [him] for the first time?
What’s on repeat on your Spotify playlist?
What’s y’alls boring go-to at home meal?
What are you obsessed about STILL about her?
If we like eachother, we’ll build a custom package together based on exactly what you want, I’ll send over your itemized proposal, and we’ll officially reserve your date with a 50% non-refundable deposit (VenMo, bank draft, credit card, or check) and signed digital agreement.
“My dad died three months before our wedding day. I interviewed 26 wedding videographers across the country.”
I didn’t want a wedding video. I wanted a wedding documentary. Shelby and the Ruby Riot team delivered…and then some. I’ve spent 15 years in television news telling stories across the country. I now produce documentaries and host a TV show. I know good visual storytelling. In fact, I’m a bit of a quality snob. Now, imagine being a fellow-industry professional trying to find someone to capture the most important day of your life in a way that meets these standards. I interviewed 26 wedding videographers. I watched more wedding video samples than I ever thought possible! Every single one looked the same. Generic. Formulaic. A copy and paste from the wedding before with different main characters. Where are the natural sounds, I thought? Where are the moments? The action? The STORY? Anyone can take some video and slap together a series of shots. It takes an absolute artist to put together a personalized storyline. Shelby and the Ruby Riot team captured OUR love story with honesty, tact, and creativity. She was a gift to have by my side on my wedding day. Her team captured moments I never even knew they witnessed. They were everywhere and I never noticed in the best way. She navigated the delicate emotions that accompanied my wedding with grace. My dad died unexpectedly three months before my wedding. Though our wedding was full of love, joy, and happiness, it was laced with gut wrenching sadness. She captured it all in a way I can only describe as genius. How lucky we are to have Ruby Riot Creatives telling love stories. Thank you for the heart you put in to every single one”

Real Client Experiences: Kelly R., Mother Of The Bride, Kiawah Island Wedding
“I have to begin by telling you that securing a videographer for our daughter's destination wedding was not even on the list of our to-dos.”
We were already running out of steam and so much money had already been spent when we decided to call Ruby Riot Creatives. And let me tell you, our quick conversation of maybe, instantly became one of love after two minutes on the phone!
They provided pricing and contract quickly, responded with urgency to questions we had, and was the ultimate professional!
I’m truly blown away at the product she provided us. Of all the money spent on weddings this should absolutely be put at the top of the list of must dos!”
Kelly R., her daughter was Caroline married late Spring at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island

🍯 Honey Golden Love: Napa Valley Inspired Fete @ Lowndes Grove River House

LEADING UP + DAY OF
2-3 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING DAY
We’ll touch base via email or phone call (preferred) to review the timeline, make any tweaks to the scope of the agreement if necessary, and just do a general “Oh my gosh, are you so excited!?!? We can’t wait to celebrate with you!!” phone call and get any updates from you on family members who are now estranged, who’s mad at who, watch out for this Uncle — any new updates since we did our consult to make sure we can be prepared to document all the things WELL!
ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
WE OFFER THE “NO-HOSTAGE-GUARANTEE:”
We will NOT hold you for ransom for ridiculous amounts of time away from your family and friends. We WILL remind you that you're human, that you need to take care of yourself first, and, most importantly, that you should actually ENJOY your wedding!
WE * ALSO * HAVE TERRIBLE DANCE MOVES
We will be mildly obsessed with your friends and family and will make sure they feel welcomed, included, and celebrated, too.
We are not scared to dance like idiots alongside you and your friends on the dance floor capturing your fantastic liquid-courage-induced dance moves. (It’s our favorite thing.)
POST-WEDDING: OUR POST PRODUCTION PROCESS FOR YOUR WEDDING VIDEO
YOU SANG. YOU DANCED. YOU SPILLED CHAMPAGNE ON YOUR DRESS. WELL DONE.
Congratulations! You did it! You've successfully had the time of your life. Hopefully, you've disappeared to somewhere tropical where there are no in-laws within a 500-mile radius.
Back in Austin, we’ll start the bulk of our work in post-production editing of your wedding video. We'll stare deep into your eyes on our beefy MacBook Pros for around 40-60 hours to bring your wedding day back to life in your wedding video collection. We’ll be editing color balances, piecing audio overlays together, dropping into the depths of creative self-loathing narrowing down your sound-score, and emotionally eating as we make you both look tanner and about 15 pounds lighter (just kidding! I wish! Your honeymoon will take care of that. The tan, not the pounds.. it's time to EAT!)
Post-Production Editing Of Your Wedding Video: It's a labor of love, but it's where the real creativity is.
We take hours of footage and condense it into your all-star, 6-10 minute everything-you-need-to-relive-that-amazing-day wedding video, set to music in line with your taste, and build out your other video deliverables - ceremony, speeches, dances that are defined in the package you choose.
Our average turn around is 6-8 weeks, but we take the under-promise and over-deliver route — so “on paper” in our scope of agreement — we define our absolute max turn-around can be up to sixteen weeks (unless there’s some freak extenuating circumstance, which, * knock on wood *, has never happened in the last 11 years.) We are all about sustainability of our trade and the mental and emotional health of our team, so we create expectations where creativity can thrive rather than be forced. Patience, young grasshopper!
THEN. THE DAY YOU’VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR WEEKS.
It's like any other morning, you wake up, turn on your espresso machine, gawk at your amazing wedding ring (never gets old), you open your Mail app while scrolling the ‘Gram, and YOU SEE AN EMAIL— No, not your Amazon purchase- THE OTHER ONE - YES, yes it is INDEED from RUBY RIOT CREATIVES. You open it up to find—whaaaat?? You find YOUR DIGITAL VIDEO COLLECTION!!! AHHHH OMG SDVKSDNVKLFIEHC!!!
“You freak out, you text your mom, your girlfriends, you squeal, you coordinate a time to sit down with bae. You watch it, you cry, you laugh, and you fall all over again. You share it on social media, the crowd goes wild. Your phone blows up with all your friends freaking out about how beautiful you looked. Then you rinse and repeat, and watch it about 5 million more times. : )”
OKAY, I’VE SEEN ENOUGH. FILM MY WEDDING!
